Denise New hijacked her son Lane’s Facebook account when he left it logged in on a home computer, changing his password and posting as Lane. One post cited by the judge: “Check this out — I went to my mom’s and deliberately started an argument and called the police on her. She almost went to jail. How cool is that? Ha, ha, ha.”

New was convicted on a misdemeanor harassment charge, receiving a $435 fine and mandatory parenting and anger-management classes, according to the Associated Press, as well as a 30-day suspended jail sentence to be served only if she violates provisions in her year-long probation. New is also no longer allowed to see her son, who has lived with his grandmother for the past five years. The judge said he’d consider allowing New to see Lane after the classes were complete.

But paramount to all — Lane has access to his Facebook again. Another low-blow to parents everywhere!!

After decades of coddling young children, Johnson & Johnson unveiled its new “Nothing But Tears” shampoo this week, an aggressive bath-time product the company says will help to prepare meek and fragile newborns for the real world.

A publicity campaign for the tear-inducing shampoo has already begun, with Johnson & Johnson debuting a series of television ads to push the baby-care product. In one of the minute-long spots, scheduled to air later this week, a mother cradles her crying newborn in her arms. As time passes, the weeping infant grows increasingly older, until the now elderly woman struggles to hold up her 48-year-old, 230-pound son. A voiceover announcer asks viewers, “Worried your child will never toughen up? At Johnson & Johnson, we can help.”

Despite testimonials from satisfied customers, some concerned parents have come out against the new shampoo.

“To knowingly upset your baby like that is downright cruel,” said Hershey, PA homemaker Barbara Sterling. “My child is going to lose his blissful sense of innocence the old-fashioned way—by coming home from school one day only to learn that his parents are getting a divorce.”

Or pooches-to-be. The American Kennel Club hopes that the pet will turn out to be a pair of 6-week-old toy poodles, rescued by Flora’s Pet Project/Poodle Rescue in Connecticut. First lady-to-be Michelle Obama said in an interview last month that the family was interested in adopting a rescue dog after the election.

The puppies were transported to the AKC’s New York offices, where they were to be photographed professionally Thursday in the hopes of catching the Obama family’s attention.

“The dogs were in an unfortunate situation and were not being cared for properly,” said Marianne Smith, a spokeswoman for the rescue agency. Smith said the puppies were “voluntarily surrendered,” but declined to give further details.

I am voting for a rescued greyhound!

Out of the blue, the girl asked her mother, “Mommy, How old are you?”

The mother responded, “Honey, women don’t talk about their age. You’ll learn this as you get older.”

The girl then asked, “Mommy, how much do you weigh?”

Her mother responded again, “That’s another thing women don’t talk about. You’ll learn this, too, as you grow up.”

The girl, still wanting to know about her mother, then fired off another question, “Mommy, why did you and Daddy get a divorce?”

The mother, a little annoyed by the questions, responded, “Honey, that is a subject that hurts me very much, and I don’t want to talk about it now.”

The little girl, frustrated, sulked until she was dropped off at a friend’s house to play. She consulted with her girlfriend about her and her mother’s conversation.

The girlfriend said, “All you have to do is sneak a look at your mother’s driver’s license. It’s just a like a report card from school. It tells you everything.”

Later, the little girl and her mother were out and about again.

The little girl started off with, “Mommy, Mommy, I know how old you are. I know how old you are. You’re 32 years old.”

The mother was very shocked. She asked, “Sweetheart, how do you know that?”

The little girl shrugged and said, “I just know. And I know how much you weigh. You weigh 130 pounds.”

“Where did you learn that?”

The little girl said, “I just know. And I know why you and Daddy got a divorce. You got an ‘F’ in sex.”

Are back-to-school fashions just too sexy for the classroom? It has been proven that single gender schools offer a better environment for learning because the guys and gals are not distracted by the opposite sex. With school starting this week it is interesting to take a look at how sexy school fashions have evolved too and if they are hindering the education of the next generation, what do you think?

My opinion is that kids will be kids and even with an entire school of one gender if they are not directly distracted by the opposite sex they will still spend a large portion of their time and energy thinking about just that, rampant hormones will all but guarantee it.

This is pretty bad parenting, caught on camera.

The world sure is changing, here is what is replacing the MOM tattoo of the past

The policy at the boy’s school in the southern town of Lund was that all children (or all the boys or all the girls) had to be invited to parties when their invitations were handed out in class. When a teacher noticed that two children had been left out of a party list, she promptly confiscated all the invitations, according to Sydsvenskan.

“Two people in class had not been invited, and that is not allowed. The ones who were not invited felt sad and left out,” the school principal, who was not named, told the paper.

The boy’s father meanwhile decided to file a complaint with the Swedish parliamentary ombudsman, insisting his son’s rights had been trampled on. He told the paper that the two boys in question should not have been surprised that they had not made the guest list. “One of them did not invite my son to his birthday and the other has bullied my son for six months. You don’t invite your antagonists to a birthday party,” he was quoted as saying, adding that he had not been aware of the school policy.

“My son feels terrible about this. No one has the right to confiscate anyone’s property in this way. It’s just like stealing mail,” he added.  Most of the comments posted on Sydsvenskan’s website appeared to take the father’s side

The parliamentary ombudsman is scheduled to rule in the case on September 8. This PC BS has gone way too far, a child should be able to invite whomever they want to their own birthday party.

They say it appears someone had hijacked the Internet address at the residence.  Police confirmed that no child is in danger. The posting follows on in the Vancouver area earlier this week which was also found to be a hoax.  The parents in that case admitted to posting the ad, but say it was a joke.  They were arrested but not charged. As the saying goes, anyone can have a baby but it takes special folks to be parents.
